Paste the contents of an XML sitemap, or upload the file, and get a clean list of every URL in it. It's handy for checking which pages a site has, planning redirects or building a spreadsheet for an SEO audit.
Where to find a sitemap
Most websites have a sitemap at one of these addresses. Open it in your browser, select everything and copy it in:
- /sitemap.xml, for example yoursite.co.uk/sitemap.xml
- /sitemap_index.xml on WordPress sites using Yoast or Rank Math
- /wp-sitemap.xml on other WordPress sites
- The address listed in the site's /robots.txt file, after "Sitemap:"
If the sitemap is a sitemap index (a list of other sitemaps), the tool lists those first. Open each one and paste it in to get its pages.
Why the tool doesn't fetch sitemaps for you
Most websites block other sites from reading their files directly in the browser, so a tool like this can't reliably fetch a sitemap from a web address. Pasting or uploading works every time, and it means nothing you check is sent to me or anyone else.
